Has every thing but Navigation. To include Z07 package. Even original price was only 92k. And can add nav if want for not much more. Not to mention there is some rebates you can get. Militaryy/usaa/employe/Rpeat customer or some crap GM calls it.

Yep. 100k tops for the z06...

But Id be hard pressed tp spend 100k on a vette. Especially when you can buy a 2006 z06 for 35k that is 97% the same minus the steering rack, Sound deadening and handling......

But then the 06 is 3150 pounds vrs the z07 carbon 2012 3300 pounds..



Then again I think people who spend 115k to drive a vette with a supercharger have lost there marbles so what do I know?

RSKY

I maybe losing marbles...

Dude....just get the 13 viper. Better car in every single way. More than likely the ultimate american car (although Im still in love with the fgt)

First thing I'd be nervous about is those rocker arms.

This is copied from Corvette Forum

2009

-Competition Sport edition available

2010

Known problems:
-2006-2007 (early). Delamination of roof skin. Covered under recall. By this time most Z06s have had this issue taken care of.
-2007 VERY small batch problem with rocker arms coming apart. Don't even worry about it.
-2006-2007 Rear axle shaft breaking. GM revised axle shafts due to failures in 2006, and again in 2007. By 2008 the problem was fixed, although another upgrade came in 2010 when the Z06 got the asymmetrical axle shafts from the ZR1.

So I miss read the Road and Track magazine oops oh well it is saying that for the base vette fully upgraded its going to be $63,480/$70,395 thats for coupe and convertible for the grand sport fully upgraded its $72,130/$78,140 coupe and convertible Z06 fully upgraded $101,760 and the ZR1 fully upgraded $129,945 sry for miss reading it. Id still get a used Z before Id buy a new one or maybe even a used Zr1 over a new one anyday. The New Viper is going to have forged internals again so at least you get to save some money when building that up and its going to have wider tires and hits 60 in the low to mid 3 sec range yup sounds like a great contender to the vette!

thanks KILLEMALL for stating what I have been saying all along...the '06 Z06 was the lightest of the C6Z's...and like you i would buy a '06 as well...not that crazy about that front lip on the newer ones anyway..what i really like about the VIPER is that gorgeous interior, and ''spidey'' under the hood...make mine in red please...

''MAC''..if you were referring to the april, 2012 issue of ROAD&TRACK...amazing how the ''base 'vette beat the grand sport to 110mph and on up...even the base 'vert beat the GS 'vert as well...WTF.

When we had Z06's on our lot the avg was 82k MSRP 3LZ option 2010 models. We would sell them around 72k+tax and fees some dealers even 68k+tax and fees MAJOR looser deals. The carbon edition as of recent usually run about 98k yes depending on option it can be more but mostly i saw 98k for them. Whoever said a Z06 is 130k i would have loved to sell you a Z06 for that amount, id be in vegas all month spending the money. Please dont post stuff like this without ATLEAST doing some research.

NOLAG05

I screwed this up but its in respond to Ohio about the Z06 he found in Texas...


Is this new with 0 miles? I just went to Chevy website and clicked on options...lol. I got offered one in Atlanta 2 summers ago for 68,000 fully loaded! The guy who ordered it lost his job and house so she was jus chillin on the lot...smh.

Looks like a drivers battle to me honestly...

Killemall

What they arent telling you is that right now the 600 hp viper and 638 hp zr1 both dyno 520-560 rwhp or around 545 rwhp on average.

The 2010 viper and zr1 were a drivers race. 3345 pounds for the viper ment the zr1 is a hundred pounds less but they had the same rwhp.

With the new viper likely dynoing 600 rwhp and at 3350 pounds its gonna put some distance on the zr1. It should be comparable to the aventador.
